Abstract excerpt
The relationship between patterns of codon usage bias (CUB), the preferential usage of synonimous nucleotide triplets encoding the same amino acid, and radioresistance was investigated int he genomes of 16 taxonomically distinct radioresistant prokaryotic organisms and in a control set of 11 non-radioresistant bacteria. The radioresistant species were found to be strongly biased towards G and C in the third...
